Shoveling

After getting about a foot of snow last night, with more coming down by the minute, not to mention the 15 degree weather, I decided not to ski today. Instead, I offered to help shovel the driveway and sidewalk. While we do have professionals who are supposed to do this, I needed the exercise, so I volunteered. It was still cold, but the close proximity to home made it easy to tolerate. And the exercise definitely made me warm.

The above is a picture of my back yard in the winter. The photo below is pretty much the same view six months ago…
